[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 13989001, member: 112023"] Be careful with the term "synthetic media" on oil filter marketing. It doesn't always mean 100 % nano-fiber. It can be a blend. Fram Extended Gard is the only Fram filter worthy of conversation or use on any vehicle, IMO. It's a good filter, also carrying a higher price due to its worthiness. This is where the test link above is flawed. Media volume and thickness is not a direct relation to filtering ability. Nano-Fiber media can trap much smaller particles with less surface area/layers, and is also less restrictive to oil flow. The person performing the test in the link above doesn't understand this. Giving a nano-fiber media filter a low grade because of surface area/volume/thickness layering is lack of knowledge on the topic. It's not required to outperform less expensive media types. Good comparison of size differences and smaller micron particle trapping abilities. Cellulose in low volume/layers allow small particles to pass though easily. Not nano-fiber.
